With Pro Tour Rivals of Ixalan in the books, what have we learned about the Draft format? Matthias Hunt, Ryan Saxe, and Ari Lax take on five Pack 1, Pick 1 challenges. See their selections and vote for the winner at the end!

Open wide! You won't be "sharking" anyone with Bennie Smith's latest Commander concoction, but if you're looking for lots of cards drawn and good times, Nezahal, Primal Tide promises good times from start to fin-ish!

Yesterday, Jim Davis gave his predictions for Pro Tour Rivals of Ixalan. Today, it's Gerry Thompson's turn! Writing before Round 1 kicks off, he calls his shots on the metagame, the surprises, and why he thinks he and his editor will take some cash home from Spain!

Ryan Saxe makes no bones about it: he thinks Red is the weakest color in Rivals of Ixalan Draft! But with the packs seemingly pushing him that way, can he bring himself to get Mountains at the basic land station?

Our fantastic Commander foursome have gotten into the spirit of Rivals of Ixalan! Today they wield decks themed around the four tribes of the set, led by one of its legendary creatures! Who will control the Star City?

Vampires, Merfolk: both names of iconic decks of Constructed formats past. So why haven't these tribes or Ixalan newcomers Pirates and Dinosaurs made a splash in recent Standard? Ari Lax examines their circumstances and whether they have a chance at SCG Philadelphia.

At SCG Dallas, Standard became one set larger...and four cards smaller. Patrick Chapin explores the possibilities in the revitalized format and tells whether the results from Texas give him hope! Are this many decks truly viable in the longer term?

You wouldn't think a legendary creature with "Primal Death" for a title would make for a subtle card, but Bennie Smith thinks Tetzimoc has a future in (Commander) politics! Check out his mono-black brew!

Jim Davis is head over heels for this deck! As many different Standard ideas are on the table, this is something brand new! Well, sort of. It brings back a strategy from the Theros days! Is this an SCG Dallas sleeper hit?

Patrick Sullivan is making short work of his Fact or Fiction opponents lately, but no man knows his weaknesses (he has none) better than Cedric Phillips! Let's see what stances they take on Rivals of Ixalan, Modern, and Deathrite Shaman!

He may be a Modern master, but Todd Stevens knows there's a new Standard on the horizon at his old Texas home! SCG Dallas will be one third Standard, and he wants to help you squash your rivals with new Rivals of Ixalan decks!
